Reducing risk of chronic pain
would it be an idea to ask surgeons about this… it comes from an article about treating chronic pain…
“To reduce the incidence of this incapacitating complication of hernia surgery, it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the groin anatomy to avoid injury or entrapment of the nerves by sutures or staples. To that end, we suggest the following: (1) avoid removal of the cremasteric layer to prevent injuring the ilioinguinal nerve; (2) avoid making the external ring too small to prevent tight contact between the ilioinguinal nerve and the suture line of the external oblique closure; (3) avoid lifting the ilioinguinal nerve from its bed on or within the cremasteric layer (particularly retracting the nerve behind the inguinal ligament) to prevent injury to the neurilemmal sheath of the nerve; and (4) avoid incising the subcutaneous adipose tissue hastily to prevent injury to the prematurely surfaced branches of the ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric nerves”.
